Imagine walking barefoot on a Fort Myers beach, only to be sidelined by nagging heel pain or a stubborn wound that won’t heal in our humid climate. For nearly 20 years, Dr. Duane F. Cumberbatch has seen how undiagnosed nerve problems and preventable complications can rob people of their mobility and joy, especially in our active, sun-soaked community.
That experience led him to found Paradise Podiatry: a practice devoted to bringing specialized foot and ankle care closer to home for Southwest Florida.
In addition to providing comprehensive podiatric care, Dr. Cumberbatch is fellowship-trained in diabetic limb preservation and further refined his expertise at the renowned Ilizarov Institute in Kurgan, Russia, training typically found in major academic medical centers. He focuses on peripheral nerve surgery and advanced wound care, using tools such as high-resolution imaging and AI-assisted diagnostics to detect problems early and guide precise treatment.
“I’ve watched nerve pain and chronic wounds strip away independence,” Dr. Cumberbatch says. “But with timely, expert care, patients reclaim their lives, whether it’s walking the boardwalk, golfing, or chasing grandkids.”
What sets Paradise Podiatry apart is the combination of advanced techniques with a whole-person approach. Alongside surgical options and regenerative medicine, treatments that help the body repair itself, patients receive guidance on footwear, activity modification, nutrition, and preventive care. From diabetic foot care and bunion relief to sprains and everyday ankle injuries, each treatment plan is individualized, with unhurried visits and clear education so patients understand every step.
If foot or ankle issues are slowing you down, don’t wait for them to worsen. Early treatment can prevent complications and get you back to the activities you love with less downtime and far better outcomes.
